VPC and Subnets

Question

I am trying to link my mobile app to AWS RDS.

I want my users to be able to access the Database from anywhere. Is there a way where a VPC and Subnet are allowing me access to the database or my users?

Answer 1

Setup an EC2 instance (Use this as a JumpBox/Bastion Host) which can connect to the RDS and keep RDS on a private subnet. To access the Database, login to the EC2 server and do it. (Also you need to add the appropriate firewall rules by setting up the Security Group rules for the EC2 instance)
